"I Believe In Father Christmas" lyrics

"I Believe In Father Christmas"
(originally by Greg Lake)

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead, it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin Birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
But I believe in the Child of Light
I believed in Father Christmas
I looked at the sky with excited eyes
Then I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish, pain, and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'd be snow at Christmas
They said there'd be peace on Earth
Hallelujah, Noël, be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get, we deserve

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
